About Me

Possibilities. We all want to know we have them, yet many feel we have none. We feel stuck. Maybe you feel like you have no moves left to make on the chessboard of life. But what if you could change? I believe anyone can change. Most of the time, we need someone to walk beside us. That is where I come in. I help individuals, couples, families, and organizations learn new ways to achieve change. Live a life you love. I am the founder and owner of the Joe Martino Counseling Network, a public speaker, and a published author. Let’s explore your possibilities together.
